> The current implementation of {{checkSuperuserPrivilege()}} allows the 
> datanode user from any node to be recognized as a super user.  If one 
> datanode is compromised, the intruder can issue {{shutdownDatanode()}}, 
> {{evictWriters()}}, {{triggerBlockReport()}}, etc. against all other 
> datanodes. Although this does not expose stored data, it can cause service 
> disruptions.
> This needs to be tightened to allow only the local datanode user.
